Coast and beaches

Blackrock Sands

The vast and sometimes windswept beach at Blackrock Sands is the nearest bit of coast to Bryn Teg. It takes around 40 minutes in the car, except that Porthmadog, which is on the way, can get very busy during the summer holiday season.

Good for running in and out of the waves and playing beach games, but not much else.

Anglesey beaches

It takes about 40 minutes from Bryn Teg to get onto Anglesey, leading to numerous wonderful beaches. We have enjoyed

Benllech - traditional holiday beach, with cafes, ice cream, ...

Newborough Warren - a large beach with dunes, forest, glorious views,... . Nearby Llandwyn Island is full of interest.

Malltraeth Sands - not for its particular interest as a beach, but a bird watcher's paradise, especially in winter.

Llyn Coastal Path

The recently-designated Llyn Coastal Path offers some wonderful cliff walking on the stretch around Tudweliog.
